Welcome to Tallgrass Zen

Tallgrass Zen was founded in 1999 by Christina Hauck and Margaret Wheeler.

Our vision is to bring the teaching of Zen Master Seung Sahn to Manhattan, Kansas and the surrounding communities. Our weekly practice sessions are completely free of charge. Donations are appreciated. Work exchange or scholarship available for retreat fees.

The Four Great Vows

Sentient beings are numberless, we vow to save them all.

Delusions are endless, we vow to cut through them all.

The teachings are infinite, we vow to learn them all.

The Buddha-way is inconceivable, we vow to attain it.
